UF Full-Time MBA Diversity Weekend

February 19-21
Zoom link provided on registration
 

Sign up to attend

Learn how we embrace and support our MBAs from diverse backgrounds. Meet with current students, staff and faculty, learn about career services, and hear from recent MBA alumni. We'll also introduce our resources and the opportunities we have to cultivate community and success for our MBA students.

Diversity can mean many things, but to us here at UF MBA, it includes but is not limited to, students who identify with underrepresented racial or ethnic groups, women, LGBTQ+ individuals, students with disabilities and active-duty military members or veterans. Allies are also encouraged to attend.
